Start of show: “Hello, listeners. We’re down at Maida Vale. I think this is going to be one of those programmes in a few years’ time you brag to your mates that you were listening to it.” JP enjoys the show so much he partly loses his voice in the course of it.

I think you don't."
Part two of the Pig's Big 78 will be played the following evening.
